Hypersonic Transport: 3D Emission Inventory of STRATOFLY-MR3 Fleet Operated on Brussels to Sydney Route in 2075

<p>High-resolution 3D inventories of future hypersonic transport (HST) are compiled for the year 2075, integrating the gaseous engine emissions of a fleet of 200 hydrogen-powered Mach 8 passenger aircraft*. These aircraft are operated once a day for 360 days on a reference route from Brussels (BRU) to Sydney (MYA) with either NO<sub>x</sub>-optimized (ICA**: 114 000 ft; 34.75 km) or H<sub>2</sub>O-optimized (ICA**: 107 500 ft; 32.77 km) flight profiles, derived to minimize environmental impacts in terms of total emissions. The emissions are spatially gridded at a horizontal resolution of 1&deg; in longitude and latitude, with a vertical resolution of 1000 ft, and are temporally accumulated on an annual basis. Note that the 3D emission inventories encompass detailed data on species-specific HST emissions***, fuel burn, and total distance traveled:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Species: NO,&nbsp;H<sub>2</sub>O;&nbsp;H<sub>2</sub></li> <li>Temporal information: 2075; annually</li> <li>Spatial information: 1&deg; x 1&deg; x 1000 ft</li> <li>Data Format: NetCDF</li> </ul> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>* &nbsp;The hypersonic aircraft concept under consideration is the <a href="https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.2021-1877">STRATOFLY-MR3</a> vehicle, which was conceptually developed in <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; the framework of the <a href="https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/769246">H2020 STRATOFLY project</a>.<br>** Initial Cruise Altitude<br>*** with a unit of kg/km<sup>3 </sup>(corrected in v0.2)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
